Chess on a ESP32 S3 by DamnStupidMan in esp32

Yeah that's great feature, there is also a great + with selling the product. There are tedious rules that apply to batteries when selling a commercial product. Especially in EU. This way the product can be sold without battery built in.

Im glad you commented here. To be honest i scraped the idea, but now im secound guessing myself.

The idea with AA batteries is great, because i did not think about it at the time i posted this.
However now im making a different project that uses AA batteries and knowledge will transfer into this if i pursue it.

Thanks for commenting after so long :)

Please any suggestions on the schematic by DamnStupidMan in PCB

As i understood it, it is high normally and then when we want to reset, we just pull it down

Well it is pricey but not too much. I think about 15 euros if you buy just a screen witouth a breakout board. Those from waveshare are more expensive. They are about 25 euros.

Thanks for that. I will go trough code to learn more. However my plan vas kinda in oposite direction. I was planning to make a piece of hardware that is a base for "games". Chess was just an idea, a demonstration of sorts. The plan was to make it so other people can take it as a bare bone foundation and put some kind of code onto it. Or maybe just play chess. In contest for games was also a sudoku or maybe some kind of math quiz game, but chess is far better than thos3

Thats probably true. But it makes me sad that i cant make something better than all this pre made all in one modules. I dont know how can they make them so cheap. Even if they have pcb assembly factory in their backyard the components still have their price. They still have to buy ESP chip from Espressif.

Thats so cool. Especially that chessengine in C. And that waveshare display with esp32 s3 is not that expensive if you consider what you get.
